What was cited on April 30, 2025, in plain words
Fall prevention training
A state law that requires every staff member to be trained in preventing falls and in helping a resident who has fallen.
Falls are a leading cause of injury in older adults, so this training matters for nearly every resident.
Cited at 12% of similar homes in the past two years.
Ask on a tour What fall training do caregivers get, and how often is it refreshed?
Administration
The duties of the owner and manager: written policies, a caregiver in charge on site at all times, background checks, and telling ADHS about changes such as a new manager.
It is about who is accountable for care at any hour and whether the home runs by its own written rules.
Cited at 23% of similar homes in the past two years.
Ask on a tour Who is in charge when the manager is not here, and how do I reach them?
Staffing and staff records
Caregiver qualifications and records: skills checked before working alone, training, CPR and first aid cards, TB screening and fingerprint clearance on file.
It is about whether the people giving care have been trained and checked, and whether the home can prove it.
Cited at 29% of similar homes in the past two years.
Ask on a tour How are new caregivers trained, and how long before they work a shift alone?
Resident rights
Dignity and privacy, protection of a resident's money and belongings, and a written copy of their rights at move-in.
These rules protect how a resident is treated as a person, not only the care they receive.
Cited at 4% of similar homes in the past two years.
Ask on a tour How do residents or families raise a complaint, and who answers it?
Upkeep and hazards
A clean, safe building: chemicals locked away, hot water at a safe temperature, and nothing in the house that could cause a fall or an injury.
These are the everyday safety checks of the place a resident lives.
Cited at 28% of similar homes in the past two years.
Ask on a tour Where are cleaning products and medicines kept?
These explain the rule, not what happened. The state's own report is on AZ Care Check.
How the figures above are counted
- Routine figures: 383 licensed assisted living homes with 6 to 10 beds in the Phoenix and Tucson areas whose last routine inspection, between September 2024 and September 2026, also looked into a complaint.
- Complaint and enforcement figures: 982 licensed assisted living homes with 6 to 10 beds in the Phoenix and Tucson areas licensed for the whole period, September 2024 to September 2026.
- A complaint inspection counts here when it cited at least one deficiency.
- Most ADHS enforcement actions are civil penalties (fines).
- An area is one section of Arizona's assisted living rules, such as Medication or Service plans. A repeat can be a different problem under the same section.
- Counts only: ADHS does not rate or rank homes, and neither do we.
